Robert De Niro partnered with renowned Japanese chef Nobu Matshuisa in 1994 and has made NoBu one of the most famous Asian fusion sushi bar and restaurants in NYC.  Nobu is popular among locals, tourists and celebrities, so it gets packed. Prices are high and reservations are strongly recommended.  The Asian fusion menu here is a mixture of traditional Japanese food along with Nobu’s world travels to Peru, Argentina and more.  A unique, top notch cuisine, but once again, the prices are high.  Try Nobu Next Door at 105 Hudson Street if you cannot get a reservation at the original Nobu.  See: NYC’s 10 Best Celebrity Owned Restaurants, Clubs & Bars
